Danit Sannikov - PeerSpot reviewer
Project manager at SII
Can be well-integrated with the existing systems in a company and is very intuitive to use
I once faced a problem with the tool, but I remember that I managed to work without a VPN, and then the problem with the product was sorted out somehow. An option to connect not only with the username and password but also through SMS in an easy manner is something that needs to be added to the tool. When I changed the way I connect to the tool to the SMS option, I did it because I bought a new phone, and it had a problem connecting with the tool, after which I had to go to the settings to change it, so I felt it was not very intuitive. In other platforms, the user will have two options to connect, one of which is with a username and password, and the other one is with an SMS.

Reliable threat protection is achieved while integration and analysis capabilities need refinement
Cisco Secure Endpoint is very good in machine learning, which allows it to secure offline contents even if not connected to the internet. We haven't encountered a single breach after it's deployed. It controls USB devices and has a separate antivirus solution called Tetra, providing security even for real-time, day-zero attacks through its strong Talos threat intelligence platform.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We haven't had anything related to threats pass through our system in the last five years."
"The encryption ensures each of our drives is not invasive and that the user does not have a bad experience even while the drive is being encrypted."
"The solution is pretty reliable."
"It has addressed storage and data transfer demands efficiently."
"Its ability to provide a security layer of encryption that allows us to prevent unauthorized access to computers."
"It is a cross-platform tool."
"Check Point gives us the possibility of reaching each security goal we have and has been a strategic ally for our internal assurance and the security of our information within the organization."
"It's easily scalable and adaptable to the needs of the business."
"The Cisco suite of security solutions definitely gives us a great deal of comfort that we are doing that."
"One of the best features of AMP is its cloud feature; it doesn't matter where the device is in regards to whether it's inside or outside of your network environment, especially right now when everybody's remote and taking their laptops home, because you don't have to be VPNed into the environment for AMP to work and AMP will work anywhere in the world as long as it has an Internet connection, giving you protection and reporting so no matter where the device is, AMP has still got coverage on it and is protecting it while you still have the ability to manage and remediate things, making the cloud feature the magic bullet and what makes the solution a valuable tool as far as I'm concerned."
"The stability of the solution is perfect. I believe it's the most stable solution on the market right now."
"The best feature that we found most valuable, is actually the security product for the endpoint, formerly known as AMP. It has behavioral analytics, so you can be more proactive toward zero-day threats. I found that quite good."
"The solution's integration capabilities are excellent. It's one of the best features."
"The fact that I've been using it for five years already means that I believe I can trust it, and others can also trust it."
"Scalability wise, AMP is a sure shot recommendation."
"The most valuable feature is its threat protection and data privacy, including its cyber attack and data protection, as we need to cover and protect data on user devices."
 

Cons

"I would like to bring centralized management to mobile devices."
"The cost of maintaining the system is high for personal use."
"I rate the support from Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade a six out of ten."
"While the solution works as it should, it is overly expensive."
"The response time for technical support could be faster."
"Sometimes the performance rates are not consistent."
"The solution is overpriced."
"They could improve the latency in the platform when entering the portal."
"In the next release, I would for it to have back up abilities. I would like the ability to go back to a point in time to when my PC was uninfected and to the moment of when the infection happened."
"In Orbital, there are tons of prebuilt queries, but there is not a lot of information in lay terms."
"The initial setup of Cisco Secure Endpoint is complex."
"The thing I hate the most, which they have not fixed, is when it creates duplicate entries within a console."
"The technical support is very slow."
"The Linux agent has conflicts with other solutions, including the Exploit Prevention system found in Windows servers, and we didn't find a fix during troubleshooting, and Cisco couldn't offer one either."
"The solution needs more in-depth analytics."
"The reporting and analytics areas of the solution need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As it costs $125 per workstation per year, something which is above the price of what the competition is charging, the solution is definitely too expensive."
"Pricing is a big issue."
"The solution's price is about the same as that of Palo Alto solutions."
"My company does make annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cisco Secure Endpoint is a little bit expensive."
"There is also the Cisco annual subscription plus my management time in terms of what I do with the Cisco product. I spend a minimal amount of time on it though, just rolling out updates as they need them and monitoring the console a couple of times a day to ensure nothing is out of control. Cost-wise, we are quite happy with it."
"The price is very good."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The solution is highly affordable; I believe we pay $2 or $3 per endpoint. It's significantly cheaper than the competitors on the market."
"Its price is fair for us."
